My Local Militaria Show In 2 1/2 Weeks

Twice a year (under normal circumstances), my friends Brian and Jean, who own my favorite Army/Navy store, host a militaria show down in Patterson, NY. It’s real easy to get there. You can take the MTA Metro-North Harlem Line to Patterson and walk the quarter mile down to the Rec Center. You can also take I-84 to Rt. 311 into Patterson, getting off at what once was Exit 18 and is now Exit 61, or take Rt. 22 to Rt. 311 into Patterson Village proper. At any rate, the What3Words for the entrance to the Rec Center are ///muddle.indefinite.encroach. They haven’t had a show since COVID started, so it’s been almost two years. Everyone is champing at the bit, and it’s going to be a good show.

One from the Sterilite vaults

Was going through some storage containers, and found some old pictures from the late 1990s, including this one of a Skytouch public satellite phone. I believe I took it with a disposable 35mm camera in New Hampshire, around October, 1999. This might have been on the top of Mt. Washington, or at the Cog Railway Base Camp, but I don’t recall exactly.

Cyberpunk Film Festival

Posted on by Tom Filecco

One of my fellow makers/artists from my home region, Sophi Kravitz, put out a call last week for participants to do a quick short video for her team’s entry into HOPE 2020’s Cyberpunk Film Festival. Never did a film before, so I cleaned up the workbench to make it a presentable background, put on a “costume”, and said a few words they gave me in front of my phone’s camera.

We didn’t win, but it was still pretty fun.
